I think we should be clear about what it would take to do what you're
proposing; there are two main angles:

* certificate interoperability (OpenPGP certs vs. X.509 certs)

This is easily solved in a technical spec, just define (to use the approach
I've been using in my code, which as worked more or less seamlessy for some
years), the use of sKID for S/MIME and issuerAndSerialNumber for PGP.

* message interoperability (PGP/MIME vs. S/MIME)

This can't be solved by a technical spec, it's an application issue which you
resolve by e.g. writing a PGP plugin for Outlook.
